Cuz if you liked it then you should have mixed in some greasy fast food. How did Beyonce’s lyric end up at Nathan’s, pushing onion rings? Food is love, and wonder no more why your clothing is straining at the seams – save me a cheese fry, though.

Don’t take Nathan’s home

The food at Nathan’s will always taste the best out in the open, with a salty breeze wafting over from the beach. The identical hotdogs and fries back home, all mashed together in the yellow bag (as always happens), are just not the same.
Give us your tired, hungry, & undiscerning

Said Nathan’s to the visitors of Coney Island. I’d just heard that the NYC Department of Health had awarded the famous hot doggerie a grade C for cleanliness, but this did not deter my group from ordering cheese fries and a lemonade. We suffered no ill effects other than regret over the empty calories.
American Girl goes to Coney Island

This colorful tableau is in the window of the American Girl store on Fifth Avenue, Manhattan. Do they really have to give Rebecca, as she is called, plastic pickles, bagel, and an American flag? (Buy the accessories for $36.)
Though she looks prim and proper, this American Girl is living large at Coney, dating two fellows, a sword swallower from the sideshow and a beefy Brighton Beach type who wears an undersized bikini regardless of the weather. Being an American Girl is damn good fun!

Breathe in the heady aroma, little Brooklynite. First smile, first steps, first words, first hotdog at Nathan’s. It’s all ahead of you – be patient.
A loverly day at Coney Island

The trick to visiting Coney Island, I just learned, is not to take the train to the end of the line. Get off at West 8th, the aquarium stop. It’s closer to the beach, is less crowded, and no one in your group can get the gimmes when they see the gigantic lollipops at the candy store or get a whiff of Nathan’s fries. The sand was remarkably clean, and though the water was murky, when you got home you felt like you needed a shower, not a tetanus shot. The city has done good work at Coney, the most visited beach in the five boroughs.
Stuffing in the hotdogs out at Nathan’s Famous

You didn’t really think I’d brave the crowds at Coney Island to watch contestants stuff hotdogs in their faces, did you? Again, Joey Chestnut of the U.S. defeated former champ Takeru Kobayashi of Japan, downing 68 Nathan’s hotdogs (and buns) in 10 minutes. ESPN aired the action live. Competitive eating has evolved into a career here in the U.S., for the select few who have the talent. I don’t think it’s helping our reputation around the world. Happy 4th!
